ZKsync has launched ZK Stack, a platform allowing institutions to deploy customizable, enterprise-grade ZK blockchains.​ The solution addresses institutional needs for:

  • Privacy and compliance through cryptographic enforcement rather than trust-based systems
  • Native interoperability with Ethereum's DeFi ecosystem while maintaining governance independence
  • Turnkey deployment via Prividiums, which include built-in privacy, compliance, and permissioned access from day one

The platform has attracted 30+ institutions including Citi and Deutsche Bank through the Prividium Breakthrough Initiative.​ ADI Foundation selected ZK Stack to bring emerging market users onchain using UAE sovereign rails.​

Analyst reports from Delphi Digital and Messari detail the institutional adoption thesis.​

ZK Stack chains inherit Ethereum security while offering sub-second ZK finality and selective disclosure capabilities for regulated use cases.​

Privacy in Finance should be enforced by mathematics, not managed by trust. Prividium is the only blockchain platform purpose-built for Institutions that demand privacy, compliance, and full control of their data while still being natively connected to Ethereum.

🏛️ The future of Finance won't be built on centralized databases Prividiums are recognized as the best enterprise-grade public chain platform with high throughput, sub-sec ZK finality, selective disclosures and interoperability with Ethereum. x.com/iptf_updates/s…

Institutions face a hard question: private ledgers or public blockchains with cryptographic privacy? Three generations of enterprise blockchains hit the same structural limits. What matters: privacy by policy or privacy by math. New write-up with a decision framework 👇

Treating privacy and compliance as opposites is an outdated assumption. Modern cryptography allows both to coexist. Prividiums were built to enable this future: private onchain infrastructure where compliance is enforced cryptographically.

ZKsync's L1 Interop solution enables any ZK Chain to natively tap into Ethereum's DeFi liquidity without giving up its own governance, privacy or execution environment. Private where it matters. Connected where it counts.

Visa didn’t win by creating more banks. It won by coordinating settlement. @ethereum is approaching its Visa moment, enabled by @ZKsync, scaling without fragmenting liquidity. DeFi doesn’t need more chains. It needs unified liquidity 👇

"How do you serve everyone and compromise nothing? Banks need control. Developers need freedom. We evaluated multiple stacks and the final selection was ZKsync" A great read on how our tech powers @ADIChain_ vision to bring Institutions onchain in a sovereign and connected way.

Great read on Enterprise Databases vs Blockchains. Prividiums are recognized as the best enterprise-grade public chain platform with high throughput, sub-sec ZK finality, selective disclosures and interoperability with Ethereum. Cryptographic privacy > Trust-based privacy
